Filmstaden Sergel, Multiplex cinema in Norrmalm, Sweden
Filmstaden Sergel is a 14-screen cinema with 2,667 seats, built in 1995 into the Hötorget facade of the Hötorgscity block in central Stockholm. Architect Per Kallstenius designed it with interiors by Birgitte Baadsgaard, and its large auditorium is the converted 1959 Sergelteatern, refitted with raised comfort and improved acoustics while keeping its 1950s character. The Hötorgshallen food hall and a parking garage occupy the basement beneath the screens.
The building began as a single-screen cinema called Sergelteatern before undergoing a major renovation in 1995. The transformation was designed by architect Per Kallstenius and created the modern multiplex that exists today.
The name comes from sculptor Johan Tobias Sergel, whose studio stood at Sergelgatan 1, and from the earlier Sergelteatern single-screen cinema and stage theatre on the same spot. That 1959 hall survives as the complex's largest auditorium, rebuilt with raised comfort and improved acoustics while keeping its 1950s character.
The cinema sits just 100 meters from Hötorget subway station, making it easy to reach by public transport. You can collect tickets on lower levels before heading upstairs to find your screen.
